Chapter 2505 Dance Under the Moon
Xia De subconsciously stopped and even held his breath. He couldn't immediately use appropriate words to describe the figure of the witch looking at the moon in the temple. He only knew that the music had stopped.
So Vanessa Benanis turned around in the moonlight, lowered her head shyly, touched the moonlight ring on her left finger with her right hand, then smiled gently and looked up at Shade. She was much calmer than before:
"Shad, you found me, and I want to give you a dance."
"What dance?"
"The Southern Kingdom has a traditional dance ceremony at the Moon Dance Festival. It's an autumn festival. I don't think you've seen it yet."
The wind blew her robe, and her shadow swayed on the ground. Although there was no light or fire, the moonlight had illuminated the place. Two shadows leaned on the ground under the moonlight. The former sacredness had long disappeared, and now only desolation and desolation were left.
"Allow me to dance with you in the moon, Shad Suellen Hamilton."
She spoke softly, then raised her right hand forward and upward and lowered her head. When her right wrist drooped downward, she closed her eyes and suddenly raised her head to face the moon.
The dance music started again, and her bare feet danced lightly, making her look like an elf dancing in the moonlight. Her dance steps were graceful and smooth, and accompanied by the music that sounded like the sound of cold spring water, her body seemed to blend into the quiet moonlight tonight.
As the music continued, her dancing became more graceful and moving. Her arms stretched out towards the night sky, as if she was touching the moonlight; her white bare feet rolled on the ground of the temple, a tribute to the night.
The body swayed gently, the shadow and the moonlight blended harmoniously, and the perfect body wrapped in linen emitted a soft light under the moonlight, like an orchid blooming under the night sky.
This is a dance dedicated to the moon, an ancient ritual dance. Shade just stood there quietly watching the figures under the moon, watching the holy but primitive dance, which was dancing just for him on this uninhabited cliff in the Randall River Valley.
When the dance dedicated to the moon ended, Vanessa Benanis, wearing a laurel wreath, a white robe and barefoot, was already standing in front of Shad.
Her eyes were frighteningly bright at this moment, but even though she had just danced, her breath was still very steady. This dance was far less charming than when she danced solo for Xia De, but in Xia De's opinion, this "Moon Dance" made him even happier.
She looked at Shade, and Shade was also looking at her. After waiting for a moment, the witch asked softly:
"I wonder if you are satisfied with the dance I presented to you?"
"Yes, I am very satisfied."
Shad replied:
“If I had the opportunity, I would love to be a part of the Moondance Festival in Carson Creek this fall.”
The witch in linen robe smiled:
"Although I am not a priest of any god, I acted as a priest or saint tonight and offered my prayers to the moon. Now that the prayers are over, it seems that the moon has responded to me."
She generously extended her left hand with the ring on it to Xia De under the moonlight:
"Knight, you found me, so you can pick the most beautiful flower."
It seems that she has not forgotten the "setting" of Shiris, and added:
"I have obtained Luvia's permission."
Her long golden hair, braided into a big braid, was wrapped around her neck and placed in front of her left shoulder. Her white linen robe fluttered in the night wind. The most famous female opera singer in the Old World, the head of the Golden Dawn Opera Company, and the Earth Witch of the Witch Council blinked at Shade, her pink lips slightly parted:
"Well, is that okay?"
I don't know if it was an illusion or the influence of the moonlight ring on her hand, but Shade felt that she was bathed in the moonlight like the pious priests in legends and stories who lived only for the gods. She also put a lot of thought into this dress. If you look closely, you can see that there are moon and laurel embroidery patterns on the left and right hems and cuffs.
"But."
Xia De looked hesitantly at the sea of forests, at the starry sky, and at this spot on the side of the cliff:
"Are you sure you want to be here?"
"That's right. Oh, Luvia is right. You always hesitate at this time. I will take it as your consent."
As she said this, she hugged Xia De's neck and kissed him passionately.
Behind her, in the middle of the empty and desolate ritual site, which was also the center of the sun, moon, and stars, the ground bulged upwards and, under the control of the witch, turned into a stone bed that protruded less than half a meter from the ground. But perhaps she herself did not realize that this stone bed was clearly like an altar in the Dark Night Temple.
While kissing Shad, she opened her eyes and looked behind Shad. Hillis was standing behind the stone pillar of the last broken archway, with the shadow covering most of her body. She was looking at the two of them, so Vanessa waved to her, motioning her to come over too.
But the young blonde girl shook her head slightly, and Siris Lathers just stood there with a smile, mouthing a blessing:
"You must be happy, Vanessa."
Hillis, who always believed that Vanessa's happiness was delayed because of helping him revive the cult and find his father, stepped back. Vanessa, knowing her friend's feelings, no longer hesitated, and despite Shad's not-so-strong objection, she pulled him to the center of the open space at the end of the Temple of Night.
She reached her left hand behind her head and with a slight tug, her bound golden hair fell apart.
She bit her lip shyly, but still looked at Xia De:
"Tonight, I give everything to the moon and to you."
Then the robe fell to the ground, and all that was left on Jie Bai's body was the laurel crown on her head and the moonlight ring on her left hand. Even the most outstanding sculptor could not use any method to replicate the perfect moonlit body in front of Xia De.
Taking off the robe means a change of identity. She is no longer the priest who dances for the moon, but now she is the goddess under the moon.
Vanessa Benanis met Shad's gaze, took off her laurel wreath and put it on Shad's head:
"I dedicate all this to you."
She repeated what she had just said, but this time her voice was trembling:
"My hero, my knight, my champion, my love. Please enjoy the sacrifice I offer you tonight. I offer you my purity and soul."
Xia De didn't let her finish her words and took the initiative to hug and kiss her.
So the witch welcomed his initiative, the moonlight filled the sea of trees, the wind blew the treetops together. Two sparrows resting on the branches in the forest snuggled together, and two deer walked through the forest together in the mottled moonlight.
The towering peaks were caressed by the night wind, and the stream under the mottled moonlight was gurgling, cool and peaceful. Stones rolled down with a clattering sound, and the swinging of animal hooves only made shadows sway in the forest.
Three moons hang on the top of the mountain, illuminating the sacred scene in the ancient temple under the starry sky.
The sea of stars twinkled, the silver moon illuminated the shadows. The moonlight sprinkled on his and her bodies. Ten thousand years later, the Night Spirit Temple once again welcomed the long-awaited sacrifice.
(Little Mia is running.)
The gentle embrace, the sweet kiss, the cool moonlight, the night breeze in the mountains, and his strength and warmth. Vanessa Benanis felt that she might never get out of this night.
The body was slightly cold, but it felt just right; the morning sun was not glaring, but it was exceptionally warm on the body covered in a thin blanket. The summer morning breeze in the Randall River Valley was as exciting as usual, but what finally made Vanessa open her eyes was not these, nor the chirping of birds in the forest, but the voice of Hillis:
"Vanessa, I know you're awake, open your eyes."
The charming golden eyes opened, and the lady lying on her side instinctively pulled the quilt to cover her chest, then sat up and looked around, at the ancient temple ruins and the cliff side. The marks on her body made her remember what happened last night without having to recall it, and the remaining tenderness and warmth made her very reluctant to accept the fact that time must move forward.
She sat up and pulled the quilt. On the central stone platform of the open space in the shrine in the early morning, she looked at Sirius who was standing helplessly beside the bed with a slightly blushing face.
The young girl looked at her friend who had just woken up and looked tired, but her complexion was particularly ruddy and her skin was more attractive than milk and eggs, and she couldn't help but say:
"Good morning, Vanessa. Don't look for Shade. He wanted to wait for you to wake up and return to Moon Bay together, but he said that a very dangerous and powerful thing was looking for him, so he had to use his relic called [Noble Blood Red] to find me and let me take care of you."
She looked at her stunningly beautiful friend with a half-smile on her face:
"I've been standing here for ten minutes."
The witch who was so bold last night asked with a blushing face:
"I didn't say anything just now. Weird dream talk, right? Oh, Hillis, you wouldn't."
She hugged the quilt tightly:
"You haven't been watching here all night, have you?"
This made Hillis blush:
"What are you talking about? After you started, I made sure that the anti-reconnaissance, spying, and defense rituals we arranged in advance were all right, so I left. I slept very well last night. Vanessa, I was worried that you didn't get enough rest last night, but now it seems that you look really good, more beautiful than a flower covered with dew in the morning."
As he spoke, he placed the clothes he had brought beside the bed, then waved his hand in the air and summoned a water mirror.
Vanessa raised her hand, touched her face, looked at herself in the mirror, and then somehow she started to smile foolishly.
Hillis did not disturb her friend's silly behavior, but looked around with a slightly melancholy look. No one knew what she was thinking at this moment.
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the three arches behind her. Sirius was about to turn around to see who had dared to come here despite her orders, but the voice that spoke first stopped her in her tracks:
"Vanessa, how does Shad taste?"
